I hate to be the nay-sayer, but I really don't like the idea of forcing
more FCS onto the ship.  FCS are for firing weapons, not detecting. 
It's
the difference between a radar and a laser painting device.

If you know it's there you can shoot at it.

I'm a bit of two minds here. However, it seems to me that you're talking
about two different things: ID'ing, which I'd say was based on long
distance sensors, and spacial pin-pointing, which is what FCS do.

I'd probably introduce levels/quality of rather than numbers of FCS, for
something like this, even though that's even MORE conplexxxity.

If you know it's there, you know it's something and can shoot at it. If
you've got good sensors, you can know what it is, and if you've got good
FCS, you've got a chance of hitting at it.

As with all my comments, off the top of head not fully thought out
prolly
deserving of plasma-enhanced flaming.
